5 Part Series

Describe: I see 5 photos made up of 1 main focus with the focus being a person. We used Megan Goff as out model for the 5 Part Series. In the photos, some of her body parts are farther away and some are closer up. Megan is standing right next to a tree, almost hiding behind it, with Jenga blocks all in and throughout the tree. In some of the photos, you can see a very blurry person holding a camera in the background. The objects are mostly close, nut in some photos, they're farther away to create depth. This work is figurative because we used a person and an object as our subject.

Analyze: The composition is not organized as a normal photo shoot would be like, centered, using one main subject, simple but interpretive. Instead of taking a photo of the persons whole boy, we took photos in parts. Some were far away, and some were close up. We took 5 photos, in all, of her face, her mid-section, her hand around the tree, her thigh and leg, and then her foot. There was defiantly line used in all of the photos, and a lot of texture too. These help to enhance the photos. The overall tone was mostly grey and light. The photos had a blurry background with the subject in focus, and this was done intentionally.

Interpret: The assignment was to use the idea of creating one object with 5 photos. Also to arrange the photos into an interesting composition. We needed to have at least one object stretching all throughout the our photos. Our objects were a tree and the Jenga blocks. The photos might be lighter because of the brightness from the sun. These were taken outdoors.

Judge: I feel that this project was very successful in many ways! We had fun coming up with different ideas. When we actually got to shooting, it got even better. We felt that we knew what to do and how to shoot the images we wanted in order for the photos and project to come out good. Yes the photos probably could have used a little more backs and whites to really make the photos pop, but it was a little hard to get the correct tone. Overall, this project turned out great. It was a nice way to end the school year :)
